Walks Stories and Nature

Strande

Sunken ancient roads and old bridges. I think it is fascinating to imagine what challenges people had in the old days when they travelled through the landscapes.

People have been very exposed to all kinds of weather with the equipment they had back then. Passages through wetlands must have been very challenging.

Ellemosen is a wonderful marsh with a 2,800-year-old paved path, and a 5,200-year-old pile-built bridge, which today is hidden underwater.

Now new paths have been established in the marsh, but for a completely different purpose. Birds and beavers are waiting for your visit.

Far out in the marsh is a very nice and cozy hide in an old pumping station.

Inside the hide, there are lots of information about what kind of birds you can see in the marsh.

The picture on the right shows the 2,800 old paved path, and on the horizon Tibirke Church is seen as a small red dot.

On my way towards Tisvilde Beach, I make a detour in the hills of Tibirke Bakker, up to a place called Udsigten, ‘the view’.
To the right, I see Arresø with Arrenæs and to the left a glimpse of Kullen’s ‘blue mountains’ in Sweden. In the middle of it all lies Holløse Bredning, the marsh.

I continue my walk down to Skovkærsvej in the forest, Tisvilde Hegn and out to the sea.

Munkholmen was an important market place in the Viking Age.
I always imagine a spectacular sight of Viking ships sweeping across the fjord while those on the shore eagerly are awaiting the latest news.

The ships are photos from previous years of the Sea Stallion from Glendalough at the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, and a ship from the Maritime Experimental Centre, Lyndby, Kr. Hyllinge.
Munkholmen is 55 km from Copenhagen a run passing Roskilde where you can find the Viking Ship Museum.

"Are you aware that you have got the key to a kingdom. The love you have for nature is priceless." She was right, the lady at the cabin in Norway. My joy is great when I'm on a walk. I would like to share that joy with you.
